Event Details

In 1998 Marco Pantani, the most flamboyant and popular cyclist of his era, won both the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia – a titanic feat of physical and mental endurance that no rider has repeated since. He was a hero to millions – the saviour of cycling following the doping scandals which threatened to destroy the sport. However, less than six years later, aged just 34, he died alone, in a cheap Italian hotel room.

Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist explores the startling truth behind one man’s remarkable descent from being amongst the finest athletes on earth to his tragic end in a sport riven by intrigue.

Cycle To The Cinema

Cycle to the cinema to watch inspiring films on biking, climbing, running and other adventurous sports.

Description

Cycle To The Cinema began as a collaboration between The National Trust at Longshaw Estate in the Peak District and nearby Heason Events. The concept is elementary - we put on cinema based events, you cycle to them.

The cinema where it all started is the lovely Moorland Discovery Centre in the woods at Longshaw Estate very close to the Fox House Pub, some 5 miles outside of Sheffield on the border between Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. The wooden building, insulated with sheep's wool in the walls, is cosy, pretty, and kitted out with a decent sound system, projector and screen. It seats around 50 people.

Since it's beginnings in 2013 Cycle To The Cinema hs grown to other venues in the area, always encouraging people to get on their bikes.

The evenings usually start at 8pm giving you time to grab a bite to eat after work and cycle to the cinema. You will normally be able to order tea/ coffee and cake when booking your tickets so don't worry about low blood-sugar. Things will wrap up between 9.30pm and 10pm giving you time to freewheel home and jump in the shower before bed.

...et voila - exercise, entertainment and a social, all in the same evening.

In case you are wondering, yes we will allow you in if you don't come by bike, but we hope you'll enter into the spirit of things.
